You are very welcome.
I initially mounted the OFFROAM on the driver side as you currently have but then I immediately didn't like that placement because 1) it obstructed the infotainment screen (a lot more than when mounted on the passenger side), 2) it limited/restricted/blocked air flow...
One month post purchase and install report...
I bought the OFFROAM mount last month based on the posts and feedback on this forum relating to phone mounts. After a little over a month post-installation, I am a big fan. Installation was a breeze (no modifications needed) and the mount has been...
It appears that these headrests still partially obstruct the view through the rear window even when folded down at 90°. If true, do you guys who have this setup have any thoughts about it? I like that it looks like they match the ebony interior including the stitching.
I was sold on these until I tried the rear headrest from my brother-in-law's new 2025 bronco for fitment purposes. I like how they fold past 90° and rest against the seat back instead of sticking out. I didn't do a lot of research but the one's that I did find were pricey.
So presumably, if the alarm system is armed, windows are closed, and the doors locked, and then a door is opened either by breaking a window and unlocking and opening the door(s) or by forcibly opening the door, HomeLink becomes active? Yikes!!
I received a response from Genie last night. They did not have a solution or workaround that addressed the safety issue with an always hot HomeLink system and their garage door opener(s).
I haven't researched the HomeLink always hot issue any further. Instead, and I didn't mention it previously...
I did a little research/experiment relating to the key fob earlier today, and the HomeLink buttons were still operable after trying two different procedures.
Procedure 1:
1) Rolled down driver side window.
2) Locked vehicle with key fob. Took and left key fob in the house.
3) Reached thru...
Yeah, this is my plan B although not ideal. Ideally, I want to be able to utilize the garage door opener's "smart-features" and Genie's Aladdin Connect app.
LOL!! Easier said than done. The Ranger is too long to fit in our garage. I don't understand what the builder was thinking when they drew up the plans for the house and garage.
When we were house hunting and took a look at the house that we're now in, it didn't come to me to ask why the...
My OCD about locking up the house is so bad that this is exactly why I installed a wifi-enabled garage door opener. One time, my wife and I went on a cruise and my paranoia about whether I locked the front door crept into my mind while at the cruise ship terminal that I had to call and ask a...
It never dawned on me that the Homelink buttons in the Ranger are still operable even if the truck isn't running.
I already have a Genie WiFi-enable garage door opener, so I submitted an inquiry to the company to ask if there is a way to create a rule via their app whereby disabling the...
I'm gonna echo this! I just recently started using Google Assistant switching from Amazon Alexa. I got annoyed with Alexa because of frequent "connectivity" issues. Alexa would prompt that I am disconnected from the internet when I know in fact that I'm connected. I have smart light switches...
You're too nice and accommodating! When I'm the driver, it's "I'm the captain, so my rules, my tunes!" :LOL: Fortunately, I can tolerate, at times, music not in my general interest and I'll let passengers have their moments with the exception of my wife. For some reason, she doesn't...
As of today, I've put almost 3700 miles on my truck since I brought it home 5 months ago which includes an 1100 mile roundtrip road trip. I'm retired so my commuting days are very much over. Point being is that I'm not driving my truck routinely like a normal human being would. :) Additionally...
There's been quite a few rain occurrences since my last post regarding a question about water intrusion and the DB SE cover. Some of these rain events have been outright downpours. The bed has remained dry although during the downpours, I wasn't out driving the truck. Today, however, I drove my...
Attaching a screenshot from the 2024 Ford Ranger Owner's Manual regarding engine oil...
XO-5W30-Q1SP is Motorcraft Synthetic Blend, and XO-5W30-Q1FS is the Motorcraft Full Synthetic.
Yeah, that's unfortunate! But it goes back to your original inquiry about fitment of the current DB crossbins for 2019-2023 Rangers to 2024-2025 Rangers. The follow up question would be whether installation of the J-brace would address DB's concern? If both conditions are met, then extend the...
